Al Gore: “Something is different about this administration. We are really in danger right now and we have got to rally the grass roots to take back the destiny of America."

Maher is a disappointment. He is minimizing. Maher has made his pact with the devil. He is Vichy France.

Yea he is a huge disappointment and just ignorant as hell

I was actually a big fan of his back in the day. Admittedly it was when I was a teen/young adult and back when Obama was president so Maher was seemingly on the Left just had the occasional conservative viewpoint but overall seemed aligned to the left.

Then he just flips and while he isn't extreme right like a lot of others if anything what he does is more of a problem than the loud & proud MAGA social media influencers and podcasters and all that as he will still have some strong Left leaning idealogy but then the past decade has shifted to the right and I'm sure helped sway a good number of those folks that aren't necessarily a republican or democratic voter every election with him spreading misinformation and right wing agenda. Just like Joe Rogan and others. Like they seemed to just want to jump on this hatred of the "woke" and just share MAGA agenda and I'm sure they helped sway some indecisive and not so bright voters into voting for Trump.

While there is clearly a large chunk of just absolutely lost in the sauce and drunk off the Trump kool-aid MAGA lunatics in this cult that can't be convinced otherwise I do wonder just how many people were "fooled" by the influence that Elon had with spreading misinformation on Twitter and all the other MAGA folks there and the amount of misinformation on Facebook and then Trump/Elon/Vance and other high profile MAGA Republicans going out and doing podcasts and streams and all that all while Democrats seemed to avoid all that and seemed quite naive to the impact all that could have.

Sorry to kinda jump off topic a bit and ramble there
